Gabe's Profile - Users - RideSpace: Post your Ride and More

About: I am a carnut, grease monkey, gear head! Whatever, you call people who love cars. That is the most important thing to know about me. My world pretty much revolves around them. I like them all muscle cars, lowridres, imports, lifted trucks, lowered trucks. My favorite cars being a 1970 Pontiac GTO, and Nissan Skyline GT-R Basically, if it has a motor, and wheels I like it. I also was born with an artistic talent. Over many years of different mediums, and different artistic things. I think I have found something I really love doing. Which is airbrushing cars! Right!? I basically, put the 2 hobbies of mine together, and I love doing it. I also had a wife from Brazil. Her and I have had a lot issues in our relationship. So we are in the process of getting a divorce. So that just sounds like it will just be a dandy fun time! (sarcastically speaking) I also have a daughter named Deirdre who means the world to me. She is such a cool little girl. She is 2 years old now. Talking more and more! And the car thing must be genetic, because when she gets in my car. She says, "I'll drive!" She is a funny kid, like her Dad in alot of ways. It is funny though I thought I wanted a boy. Now that I have her. I couldn't imagine having a boy. She basically, stole my heart more than I think a boy would. I work at an auto shop in Hastings,MN. I am a service writer. Basically, the guy that writes up all the work, orders parts, and breaks the bad news to people about how much it will cost. I use to work in the shop most of my life. But I started to hate working on everyday driver commuter cars. I would rather do custom work. So I had to get in the office. I didn't want to lose that love for cars. I also do my airbrush work on cars and motorcycles on the side. I have my own business going doing that. Which is pretty new, and hasn't really got the word of mouth out there yet. So I am not real busy yet. I am focusing right now on painting the realistic looking fire on cars. I have only been airbrushing a year. But myartistic talent made it quick to pick up on. I also like music and movies. I use to go to clubs alot! But I pretty much stopped drinking, and am a little too bored by them now! I stil drink, but very very rarely. Like last time I did was? 2003!?

Favorite Movies: Again too many movies to list. My favorite is probably, "the Crow" I don't know why? Other, than it was very artistically done. Dark dreary wet city, a cool ass lookin' character, and a guy so pissed of that his future wife was killed he comes back from the dead. Is that not the most powerful love!? LOL I like action, drama, comedy, sci-fi. I also really like movies that make you think like the first Matrix, or Instinct. Matrix I walked out of the theatre thinking is all this around me real! Instinct, because Anthony Hopkins in the movie had a good point between man, and the apes he lived with. I think one of my favorite movies is The Crow.

Favorite Music: I listen to pretty much anything. That is an easy way out! But I really like too much music. I will try to list the songs that I tend to listen to most. 311-Beautiful Disaster, Amber, Down. Booker T and the MG's- Green Onions, War-Lowrider, Slipknot-Wait and Bleed, DJ Shadow featuring Mos Def-Six days the remix, Alice in Chains w/ Pearl Jam- Alone, Fall Out Boy- Dance, Goin' down down(?), Billy Idol-White wedding, Rebel Yell, Eyes without a face. Jem-24, They. Marvin Gaye & Tami Terrell- Ain't no mountain high enough, Michael McDonald- I keep forgetting. Otis Redding-I've been loving you too long, sitting on the dock of the bay, I've got dreams to remember. Queens of the Stoneage- Little Sister, Go with the flow. Korn-Blind, I don't know!? I am drawing a blank! There are alot more! I am finding I like more surfer style, laid back mellow music. Like LL Cool J's going back to Cali, 311's-Beautiful Disaster, Green Onions. I like more mellow laid back, cool, cruisin music! Oh and I love ACD/DC- That is get on the highway, speed like crazy, pass everyone up, long haul across country music! Mainly, metal, and rock bands. I can't stand country music. Some older country songs I like, but very few. Oh and I like rap, but the new rap is just so lame!

Favorite TV Shows: This one is easy! American Choppers, Overhaulin' (by the way Foose is cool! Boyd Coddington is a dipsh_t!), Myth Busters, Monster Garage, Deadliest catch, American Hot Rod, Forza Motorsports Challenge, Bullrun, Biker Build-Off. Nopi tuner vision- Mainly for the swimsuit competition coverage, but also the drag racing coverage. Even though I like cars! I hate Nascar, and don't watch professional drag racing either! Reason being for both! They are not real cars anymore! I like seeing real cars, people built themselves.

Favorite Books: Books that teach me something. I am not much into story books. Almost all my automotive education came from reading car magazines.

Interests: Rollerblading, Lifting Weights, Cars of course, Movies, Airbrushing, Painting, Drawing, Listening to music.
